Kanye West and The Game sampled Eazy-E’s 1988 song “Eazy-Duz-It” for their new single “Eazy” on Friday (January 14), and it’s already got the seal of approval from the N.W.A legend’s daughter. During an interview with TMZ, Ebie Wright shared her thoughts on the track that’s made headlines for a number of reasons.
“Ironically enough, my life was never easy either,” she said. “But I think it’s a great song. You know what, I’m a huge Kanye fan. I love Game. It’s an incredible record. And it was also produced by my buddy Hit-Boy, so shout out to all my guys.”
Ebie also talked about Eazy-E being linked to a song that sees Kanye dissing his ex-wife’s new partner Pete Davidson, in addition to the controversial monkey cover art.
“Honestly, the fact that they sampled ‘Eazy-Duz-It’ – my father literally represents revolutionizing everything,” she explained. “He also represents gangsta rap. What Kanye did and what he said on it, I mean, it don’t get more gangsta than that. I’m with it. I mean, you gotta think about it like, Kanye especially, he knows how to go viral. He’s also very expressive. I feel like, he can’t do no wrong. I think Eazy taught him, and Yeezy taught me.”
She added, “I absolutely think if my father was alive, he would have totally loved to be a part of this record. I mean, it’s incredible. You can’t pay more homage than actually using a sample from one of his biggest songs, ‘Eazy-Duz-It.’ And you know, titling the song ‘Eazy.'”
Kanye West & The Game Slammed By PETA For Using Graphic Photo Of Skinned Monkey As 'Eazy' Art
Kanye West’s verse finds him calling out comedian/actor Pete Davidson while referencing his new girlfriend, Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox.
“God saved me from that crash,” he raps. “Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass (who?)/And my new bitch bad/I know Illuminati mad.”
The song arrived just a day before Kim Kardashian allegedly stopped Kanye from attending his daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party, with Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner then stepping in to help.
The cover art for “Eazy” was also slammed by animal rights organization PETA for using a skinned monkey.
“The photo is reminiscent of the monkeys PETA has found, sometimes heads, sometimes hands, sometimes the whole body, in meat markets around the world,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. “It makes it clear that when you remove the fur you can’t miss that there’s a person in there, that they are fellow primates, and do not belong to us to abuse for any purpose, not in laboratories, roadside zoos, movies, or meat markets.”
can amber rose please drop a giant dildo on kanyes head and kill him already?
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
“B****, STFU, GTFOH!!!”
It was kinda hittin but it don’t have what it take to move crowds unless it got a King Tekashi feature on it.
she fine as hell
it don’t get more lame than kanye’s crap verse everyone is drooling over
Y’all are dumb I’m 6’3 too and I’ve boxed my whole life and won 90% of fights I’ve been in but don’t get it wrong, anyone who says they haven’t lost a fight that’s been in more than a few is a ego ass liar. Size does help especially when your trained to use it as an advantage. But to this day my biggest ass whooping was by a 5’4 guy with poo pure rage and confidence. Most fights end up on the ground and then it don’t matter how big who is, all that matters is who is on top throwing haymakers or has that arm bent and about to break it. I’d bet on Kanye hitting fans, other rappers and the paparazzi if he snapped he’d kick Pete’s ass. Infact Pete Davidson just increased security cause he’s a scared bitch. He also looks the the human version of Pug the dogs with the funny smashed faces.
Kanye is 5’8″ and probably hasn’t been in a fight in his life. Also, it’s funny this grown man is throwing pot shots at his x-wife’s new fling, as if she’s his property forever, yet he’s dated 3 people since they broke up.
Maybe if you didn’t act like a lunatic all the time, you’d still have a wife….
Kanye just talkin… Pete Davidson is about 6’3″ or somethin so he’d get Ye pretty eazy. However… he’s on a track with Game and we all know Pete wants none of that action…
Like it or not, Kanye is the best and most influential rapper of all time. He’s the most successful, the most controversial, the highest ability to crossover, and has the best catalog. Everyone knows that Jay can’t beat Ye in a Verzuz. GTFOH. I can’t think of another artist who could have crushed the 80s and fit in with his production, with the boom bap that fit in beautifully with the 90s, the fact he changed the game in 00s (and made Jay-Z into GOAT status… the Blueprint is by far his best album), was top 5 in the 10s with the new kids on the block like Drake, Kendrick, and Cole, and is still the most talked about artist – along with Drake – of the 20s. Name a rapper with 25 years of extreme relevance where every line, feature, and hook is talked about nonstop. I’ll wait
Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Most successful by what kind of measure? It cannot be album sales. Kanye is not a great lyricist and not even a very skilled rapper. He keeps himself relevant by featuring the artists popular artists like Drake, Rihanna, Eminem or in recent years some younger trap and mumble rappers. And the deals with Nike and later Adidas as well as his mental issues certainly added to his popularity. Every young rapper says that he has been influenced by Kanye or Wayne. But I can’t hear it in their songs, especially the Kanye influence. Kanye is not the only producer on the Blueprint. Eminem, The Trackmasters, Bink, Just Blaze and others were involved.
???what u smoking
please game if ever your 30 for 30 album happen, don’t make it a double album full of filler like born 2 rap (it was good but 25 tracks), a little bit too long
